This event group tracks whether XRP/USD will close higher than or equal to its opening price during a specific 1-hour candle on March 29, 2026 at 5 PM ET. Polymarket uses Binance XRP/USDT spot price data, while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks' Ripple-Dollar Real Time Index (XRPUSD_RTI) with a complex multi-band resolution structure covering 40 discrete price ranges.
Polymarket and Kalshi use different data sources (Binance XRP/USDT spot vs CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI index), different measurement methodologies (1H candle close vs open comparison vs 60-second average), and different outcome structures (binary Up/Down vs 40-band Yes/No). The markets measure related but distinct settlement values.
Hero Tip:
Treat these as separate markets with independent resolution paths. Polymarket resolves to a simple Up or Down outcome based on Binance candle data. Kalshi resolves to Yes if the CF Benchmarks 60-second average falls within one of 40 predefined price bands, or No otherwise. Basis risk exists: Binance spot and CF Benchmarks index can diverge. Confirm which data source you are exposed to before trading.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Binary directional market: resolves Up if XRP/USDT close >= open for the 1H candle beginning March 29, 5 PM ET on Binance; otherwise Down. Uses Binance spot exchange data. Single data point per outcome.
Kalshi: 40-outcome price-band market: resolves Yes if CF Benchmarks XRPUSD_RTI 60-second average before 5 PM EDT falls within one of 40 discrete bands (e.g., 0.92000-0.9399, 1.00000-1.0199, 1.40000-1.4199, etc.); resolves No if outside all bands. Uses CF Benchmarks real-time index, not spot exchange.
